fictitious discount...?

I bought an ex display roof box for my van yesterday from a well know motoring supplier.
I wasn't intending buying a roof box, although me and the missus had talked about it. Anyway, I had popped in to the store for something else and saw this roof box for sale for a price of £183. Not bad I thought and I was even more interested when I saw it was reduced from £999 (it is a large roof box). I asked the asistant if it really was on sale for £999 in the past and she said it was.
I messaged the missus with a photo of the box and the price label and she pretty much bought it within the hour.
It wasn't until I got home that I had a poke around the internet to find that there isn't anything on their website that's anywhere near £999.
So a little bit of sneakyness from them? Hmmm.
I chatted to a sales advisor online and they can't find the product code (what a surprise). Its on my receipt and on the photo I took. All I want them to do is confirm whether it really was sold at £999 previously. It could be a mistake....it could be true....or it could be a bit of a swizz.
What do others think?
